OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ameba?

We needed a development firm to build out our website and mobile app.

SOLUTION

Ameba used WordPress and WooCommerce to develop our website. We had multiple meetings to adequately communicate our vision. They implemented that vision and designed a distinctive brand identity with a modernized UI/UX. Once complete, they created an iOS version of the platform.

They’re currently developing an Android version and helping us further streamline certain touch points throughout the entire platform. In addition to creative design and web development, they’re also capable of general business consulting.

I’ve worked with at least five people so far. Their CEO manages the projects while a director oversees the graphic and interface design. The rest of their team is great to work with as well.

We use Kanbanchi as a project management tool but are currently moving over to Asana. We also frequently utilize Google Drive and Google Docs. Through a meticulous schedule, we have weekdays divided up based on what needs to be done and by who. We have 2–3 Skype meetings with them per week to organize what’s been completed and what needs to be worked on next.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their sense of design is amazing. They operate on a level above other firms we’ve worked with. Ameba is an extremely professional firm that doesn’t engage in predatory pricing practices. They’re more concerned about producing a quality product that satisfies their client.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I wish they had more of a U.S. presence to simplify financial transactions and communication. Other than that, everything’s been going great and I have no complaints.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Let them know what your goals are and be open to communication. Being clear and upfront is important.

I was familiar with the owner, Miguel (CEO, Ameba). Reviewing Ameba’s website and portfolio of past projects confirmed that they create excellent products.

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

Ameba developed our digital design tool using Flash. A notable feature lets users customize specific components. After users submit a completed design to our sales team, it generates a printable list of the parts we need to purchase.

At least three resources from Ameba worked on our project.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the founder of Tr3dent. We’re a software company based in Ireland, providing a SaaS product for companies in the area of strategic business planning.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ameba?

We needed some assistance with the UI and UX components of our SaaS product.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We used Angular.js, and they did a lot of the frontend with CSS and HTML.

What is the team composition?

We had three to four different individuals from their team, with two or three consistently engaged on the project over the course of six months to a year. They engaged on a daily basis as part of our daily scrum calls.

How did you come to work with Ameba?

They were referred to me by someone who had previously worked with them. We had an initial conversation with their principal and I liked what he had to say, as well as their level of professionalism. We decided to try it out and they basically became part of the team. They were very keen on making the project successful, keeping within the timelines and within the budget.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them 18 months ago and are now in the process of finalizing some roadmaps for phase two. We’re going to be kicking off that off in the next couple of months.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The feedback we have received from our user base about the UI has been extremely positive. We work with very large enterprises and very demanding users, so it’s important for us to meet the standards that they expect. The UI and UX designs that they came up with increased the level of customer satisfaction. The usability of the product significantly increased and the feedback from customer surveys shows that the product satisfies the needs of our customers in a very positive way.

How did Ameba perform from a project management standpoint?

We used Jira as a means of managing our sprints. They became involved in that and would update accordingly. We worked through the project plan in terms of prioritization of the activities and what needed to be done. When things were taking longer than expected, there was clear and open communication. The important thing was that there were no surprises.

As part of an agile methodology, some things take longer than expected and there will be challenges. The important thing when working with a third-party is clear and open communication, and that they advise you when challenges do come up so that they can be managed effectively. Ameba did all that very well.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They really cared about the product and what they were doing. We really felt that this wasn’t just a third-party engagement and that they were a partner involved with us. They felt as much of a team member as any of our people in the office.

We’re based in Ireland and they’re based in Uruguay but the time difference was never an issue. I highly recommend them; it was a very positive experience working with them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could have pushed us harder earlier on in terms of the requirements and for more information that would have helped further down the road. We didn’t have the resources and the time that we probably needed to provide that to them at the early stage of the project. They had to work with the information they had. Overall, looking back, there are very few things I would have done differently.
